Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The hepatitis C virus NS5A protein is tethered to cellular membranes via an amphipathic amino-terminal helix that is inserted in-plane into the outer endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived membrane leaflet. The charged face of the helix faces the cytoplasm and may contribute to interactions involved in replicase assembly and function. Using an aggressive charge flip mutagenesis strategy, we identified a...
